Colombo (LNW): The Anti-Terrorism Act will be tabled in Parliament on April 25, 2023, announced Justice Minister Wijedasa Rajapaksa, following weeks of speculation on the controversial bill on and off the media.

The tabling of the bill was delayed due to multiple requests amidst its controversial nature, whilst meeting a severe backlash both locally and internationally.

Rajapaksa added that a request was made that the tabling of the bill be included in the Parliament agenda for April 25, 2023.

The Anti-Corruption Bill will be tabled in Parliament during the first week of May, he noted.

The controversial Anti-Terrorism Act will be a direct blow in the head against the country’s democracy and will be vesting in an unimaginable power, according to many critics.
